Depends on the software in question. Photshop runs smoothly on a 1gighz processor with 512 mb RAM, but I'm not sure what the specs are for profesional software.

...wait, why is the thread back to Asakura with a sword? Didn't I just post this morning on how it makes no sense for Asakura to use a sword when a knife is more efficient and Asakura aims to be efficient, being a data collection entity?

As to doujin software, Kazuya Minekure used Photoshop on a Power Mac G3 back when she was doing doujins; she currently uses Photoshop on a G4 for her professional manga. Photoshop's good enough. Mostly.

Tony Taka apparently scans in his black and white stuff and draws it by hand. <.<

A fanartist drew Asakura with a sword, which brought the discussion back up.

Hmm...You're right. Sketch lines in there are particularly bad. Fortunately, that's probably the easiest mistake to fix. Her head looks a bit too long to me, too...

The reason I ask is because if Haruki is really going to extort a computer from the Fujoshi Computer Club girls, he might not get the top-of-the-line model as Haruhi did in the canon. (Or at least what was top-of-the-line enough for the Computer Club President's budget, taking into account the probability that he built it himself.)

Some people love manga studio. (never touched it, so wouldn't know)
Bean Bandit: just adjust Kyon's right arm a bit and make the changes on the torso as suggested by Keroko and she should be fine. It's odd how that I can't draw people for a dime's worth when I am using pen and paper... come to think of it...

Well, why wouldn't he go for a top-of-the-line computer?

Like I said, meek little Mitsuru is still excellent extortion material. Thinking like Haruki, I can already imagine the headlines: "Sexually repressed computer club assaults weak, pretty boy"

Sexual assault is sexual assault, no matter which side of the gender its coming from.

This is my pencil line art.
My computer is not top of the line, in fact its quite a dunk. It's just a matter of how many layers you need to use. There is technically No such thing as professional software. People can produce great pieces with MS Paint (trust me i've seen some really amazing stuff).... it's just a matter of skill i guess...

Personally i already used.......... 70+ layers for this coloured version. Still working on it, scrapped hair (Kyonko) twice but here's the mid result.

Kinda lazy to continue though....

It seems the original artist has a lot of influence on our writer

I wasn't planning on pitching ideas, but you guys seem to be having trouble, so I'll chuck my $0.02 in.

The Fujoshi Computer Society could most efficiently be blackmailed by making it appear as if they were somehow forcing two men to enact their fantasies. I'm not sure exactly how this would work out, but maybe that'll get the ball rolling enough for someone to run with it.

Sexual assault is sexual assault, no matter which side of the gender its coming from.
My point was that the Fujoshi Computer Club may not have a top-of-the-line computer for him to take.

This is all predicated on the Genderswap Computer Club actually being genderswapped and focusing more on the stereotypical fujoshi hobbies, of course. If they're the Girls' Gaming Club instead, then yes, Haruki will be getting a good computer.

And I'm just not seeing the blackmail material as being that serious in the setting. Yes, sexual assault is sexual assault, but as I said, Haruhi assaults Mikuru just about every day, and it's seen as comedy. Heck, over in the Nanoha-verse, Hayate's "seku-hara" is apparently a harmless little quirk, rather than gross impropriety.

Is it unfair and inconsistent to the point of hypocrisy? I think so, but it's the setting we have to work with. I'm not saying that the "sexually-repressed girls molesting a boy" angle won't work, but it'll have to be very convincing on Haruki's part. In the canon, Haruhi just implied that the Computer Club was ganging up on Mikuru, and let societal biases do the threatening for her. For the genderswap, this may not really work, especially if we're using the image of the Female Computer Club as not being that unattractive.

I mean, be honest with yourself, guys: if you heard about a girl being molested and ganged up on by a group of guys, what would your first thought be? Now, if you heard about a guy being molested and ganged up on by a group of not unattractive girls, what would your first thought be?

Haruki is going to have to be very convincing, painting lurid details of horrors and backlash which will pretty much have to be over-exaggerated, and the girls of the Computer Club have to believe him.

This is one reason why I'm still seriously considering leaving the Computer Club male, because it's easier that way.

You mean Haruki himself is going to "go down" on Mitsuuru?!

Nothing quite so explicit, but essentially that is what I was thinking. The trick, however, will be how to twist it to make it appear in photos that the FCS are the ones forcing them to do it.

Just thinking, if we leave the Computer Club male, who is Haruki going to use as his 'victim'?

Kyonko might be the first answer, but being nowhere near the doormat Mikuru is, I hardly think Kyonko is going to stick around with Haruki after such a traumatic event....

Except....what if Haruki uses Mitsuuru anyway? Oh wow...the 'gay' implications would be even worse for the Computer Club than when Haruhi used Mikuru...

Well, the thing is, we could have the girls be fans of Otome games and they do a bit of programing. We could easily them make them "better" than the Boys' Computer Club.

Also, in all seriousity, I don't think that even our Boys' Club is as serious about computers as the club name implies.

My thought: Poor kid, he's too cute for girls to resist.

If you haven't noticed, girl-on-boy harassment are getting a lot of notices these days, so our sencario isn't that much unconvincing.

Of course, we do have to make sure that we can make the cut.


Also, why does the girls have to be unattractive? We can turn the tables on the readers and make them a bunch of bishojos.

This may be possible bias on my part, but seeing how I am surounded by girls that love gaming, I don't see the Girls Gaming Club as impossible.

What my first thought would be? Honestly? 'damn, lucky guy'

However, the blackmail is still possible, but the lane just has to be slightly different. To do this, we have to analyze Haruhi's reasons for choosing such blackmail methos, namely: what did the original computer club fear? The computer club most likely feared punishment, either the disbanding of their club or worse.

What would the female club fear? Disbanding of their club is far less likely, you're absolutely right, but what would happen is that their reputation would be permanently damaged. They'd be looked at as slutty girls by a lot of people, in their minds everyone.

Of course, on the other hand, leaving the Computer Club male would mean that Kyonko would the the target of harassment. Kyonko would react differently then Mikuru did.

....

I'm finding myself liking the idea of leaving them male all of a sudden.

Not genderbending the Computer Club = Kyonko fanservice.

Screw equal rights! Kyonko fanservice, people!

Jokes aside, Dkellis has a good point. For example, what about the baseball club? There a milions of ways where the comedy can work differently in those scenes if we leave them as they are, and yet become awkward if we genderbend them.
